Thibodeau appeals alleged misconduct by Oswego officials
Thibodeau alleges Oswego County Sheriff's Office and prosecutors hid evidence to expose flaws in the Heidi Allen case and point to other suspects. Convicted of kidnapping Allen in 1995, he seeks a new trial, with attorney Lisa Peebles urging the Appellate Division to reverse a March denial. Peebles claims Allen’s informant status was exposed when an officer’s ID card disappeared, and prosecutors blocked evidence sharing, derailing the defense and shifting blame away from investigators.
